Matt Fishel - "LGBTQIA (A New Generation)" (Official Video)

[@mattfishel]

Hey everyone! Here's the official video for my new single "LGBTQIA (A New Generation)", which I'm crazy excited to finally share with you! For a long time, I felt a deep need inside of me to write and record this, so thought I'd just say a few words about my inspiration behind the song. Firstly, it's a dedication to today's generation of fabulous youth around the world: increasingly open-minded, loving, caring and understanding of one another's differences and similarities. I've seen so many incredible, free-thinking, community-orientated, liberal young individuals in the comment sections of my videos over the last few years, and it's been massively heartwarming and inspiring to witness. Kids full of pride, who celebrate difference, unafraid to experiment and unashamed of labels; a generation able to flourish and find their voices in radically changed societies; people able to experience and enjoy their own identities from a young(er) age, under the protection of (new) law(s) and without fear of criminal persecution. But at the same time, it's so important not to become complacent and to continue to call out those politicians, world leaders, governments and global institutions who, through misguided morals and often with malicious intent, actively stand in the way of equality being achieved. Those folks still lost in the past, on the wrong side of history, stuck in a war of ignorance. The ones who want to see this new generation's liberties quashed at every opportunity! And yet mostly, this song is my heartfelt thank you to the hundreds of thousands who came before us; to the ones who paved the way and broke down the walls; to the generations who sacrificed and suffered through inequality and gross injustice, but who nonetheless challenged their systems and authorities and fought tirelessly to bring about the kinds of changes we're seeing today, so that people like me could experience the freedoms, happiness and, eventually, legal protections that so many of us now enjoy in our societies. This is for the ones who made it possible for folk like me to upload songs like this onto a global platform without fear of persecution or repercussion. Tragically, this is still not always the case and the fight continues in many parts of the world even now. So we must never take our equality for granted, especially whilst so many of our brothers and sisters around the world still experience so much prejudice and, in many cases, physical danger. Those of us who ARE able to live freely and authentically within our own societies - we must carry on doing whatever we can so that EVERYONE can enjoy these freedoms in the future. And we must never forget those who relentlessly gave everything (and still do) to make this “better world” a reality for everyone. This song stands as my tribute to those trailblazers, pioneers, freedom fighters, activists and everyday people who gave their lives to fight for global equality. Hope you enjoy it! M x

Matt Fishel This is beautiful, just beautiful

[@missoringasm7144]

Beautiful song, beautiful message. Soon, I too am going to be out, proud and happy! This is the kind of song that gives me the courage to come out. I swear this is the song that's going to push me to do it... I'm going to come out soon. And even if it doesn't go the way I'd like it to, at least I've got the fabulous community I need here on this channel! (Plus some rockin' music!)

[@missoringasm7144]

UPDATE: So I came out last night. my parents were super understanding and glad I decided to be honest. It's so relieving to be able to be out and myself. It feels like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and it's great. But it's yourself, Matt Fishel, and your music that made me do it, if I'm honest. A week ago when I found "Radio Friendly Pop Song" I was like "huh this music is neat makes me wanna show my colours and who I am" and now here I am, a week later, out and proud. I need a shirt that says "out, proud and happy." That'd be fab lmao

[@clara3145]

I'm so happy for you! :) I was lucky to have comprehensive parents when I told them I was transgender, but not every parents in the world accept their kids being in the LGBT+ community, and I find it terribly sad... :( Oh, and by the way, I also love Radio Pop Song, it's one of my favourite songs! :)

Also the lyric “What are they still fighting for” reminded me that there’s a huge problem in the US where it’s still legal in most states to throw a person of your store/fire them/evict them from their apartment etc. etc. just for being a part of the LGBTQ+ community, and conversion therapy is still legal in some states (idk how many forgive me if it’s more or all). The fact that these things are still legal sickens me. We need to teach people that regardless of religious belief, opinions, etc. that you should still respect a person (things like calling them by the right pronouns and name.) and accept/tolerate them even though they might be different from you. You should also not try to change them (conversion therapy) even if they are your child, although you might not agree leaving them alone and letting them be who they truly believe is themselves (even if you do not) is a lot less mentally, emotionally, and physically damaging then sending them to get “fixed”. There is no place for hate in this world. I see discriminating against an LGBTQIA person just because they belong to that community as if you were to black person just because they’re black; it makes no sense. I just want to add a quick reminder that we are all human and we should all be able to coexist with each other without violence and hate.

Don’t forget the scores The ones who came before in history Alexander von Humbolt: 19th century German scientist (born into a life of privilege). I honestly can’t express how FUCKING AMAZING this man was. He recognized altitude sickness was caused by lack of oxygen... because he climbed active volcanos. Without any modern equipment. He was forged ahead despite an anthrax epidemic ahead of him. Despite being an insane idiot in how much he risked his life (FOR SCIENCE), he lived until he was 89. He who brought us the first warning of human induced climate change, first to recognize climate zones are a thing, figured that DNA was a thing, accepted the idea of evolution before Darwin laid all the evidence out, inspired Darwin to travel the world, taught the scientific community the importance of collaboration and finding connections, knew no race was superior, gave lectures to audiences that were half female and was the Albert Einstein of his time. And during his life, people knew that he was gay. He was so smart he basically got away with being a modern man in the 1800s.

We can never rid the entire world of narrow-minded ignorant haters, but as long as we continue to take two steps forward for equality for all while they try and knock us back a step (and as this excellent video reminds us, never forget those who sacrificed to help us reach this point) then hate and fear will never win out over love and courage. And it all starts with how we treat each new generation. I have two Granddaughters... one bi and one gay... and all I want is for them to be safe to be themselves and the same for any of their children that they may have in future.

this video came out 5 years ago. Back then, I was just discovering my sexuality, at my few 12 years old. Hidden from my family, I would eventually come out to my best friend, who would then become something like a brother to me. It's been only 4 years since I came out for the first time, and three years since I came out to my mom. My grandmother died recently, and I could never tell her because I was simply too afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it. Today I stand, proud of who I am and who I have become with the help of my brother. I think he's the reason why I'm still alive today, and have done my best to fight my depression and anxiety these last years. I say this because I think it is important to know that we're never alone. There will be friends, allies, ppl who love you for who you are and that, just like my brother, make this path a bit less difficult. Be proud of what you are, of the people you love, and above all, love yourself. In this world of madness, even if you think no one loves you, let yourself be the one who loves you the most. ❤ 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

The lyrics in this song are so powerfull, you didn't write a song you write a poem, a feeling, you broke the walls of your heart so your feelings became words and words a song

[@pieceofgarbage4519]

This is like an lgbtqia superhero show intro !!!!!!💟💟💟💟

[@PlatformingCyndaquil]

Yeah!

[@5sosstitchy409]

[@ЗояКалайджиева]

I live in country with other language and my family is not as good as me in English. So I have the luck to listen these songs, without they understanding.

Hold on friend, you will be able to live out proud and happy one day! I hope for you that it is very soon. Keep listening to Matt’s songs, they are great and so powerful! Your LGBTQ community will be here for you always 🏳️‍🌈💕

@@quartzy_jane2153 I am still not sure am I LGBTQ or no, but i know for sure that i support them from the bottom of my heart. And yes - my country is changeing as well, but still 78% of the population are homophobs. The priority of one of our parties is to banned the pride, wich is only in the capital. But really thank you for the support, i know the things will change.

Someone: *Says something homophobic* Me: *Is this some joke im too gay to understand?*

[@s.w.wrainbowcat924]

I may be a year late on this, but since I just found this I'm so happy! As a lesbian myself and seeing this video it just made me all giddy. These songs made by well known people really do spread LGBTQ awareness and I'm happy that a lot of people are willing to spread this. Not only that but me and my girlfriend live in a VERY homophobic town and go to a school with A LOT of Christians and as far as I know we are the first gay / lesbian couple. We are also making people in our school explore more on their own sexuality and I'd have people who are straight as a twig come up to me and say that they like the same sex! So I think this may be a song I would suggest to people who not only are trying to find their sexuality but to my girlfriend as well.
